He also hopes his performances on the pitch will help to lead Arsenal forward, with it his ultimate goal to play a leading role in the landing of long overdue silverware.

Champion

"There are great expectations from the supporters and I hope that my way of working, of playing, will win the hearts and minds of the other players, the supporters and all those who work for Arsenal," Santos told Arsenal Player.

"This is my main goal at the club - I managed to win over the supporters at Fenerbahce and I hope the same will happen here."

He added: "I arrive here with one aim - being a champion.

"I will wear Arsenal's shirt and give my utmost to it. I will do everything for the club."
